This study examined 419 advanced age women assessing the level in response of alcohol use. In general the analysis of MANOVA and ANOVA indicated a significant relationship between self-perception of functionality and moderate use of alcohol. However, there was no significant relationship found in varying activity level, physical health and emotional well-being when it was compared to the use of alcohol. Evaluating the positive and negative effects of alcohol use, the study showed that those who had a high consumption reported having problems associated with alcohol. On the other hand those who reported moderate consumption describe their behavior towards drinking as a positive one. The implications of alcohol use were discussed in the rehabilitation counseling practice to older population who presented or not any alcohol use.
